Season tickets for dad and kid - Worth it?
Discussion
Hmmm. On a whim decided to take my boy to watch Brighton and Hove Albion today and it was a corker of a match with the Albion winning 6-1.....looking good for a play off place for the premiership next season.
'twas only the second match I've taken my boy to. We went to Celtic Park a couple of weeks ago.
Just discovered that season tickets have gone on sale today to the general public and are selling out fast.....any of you guy's got/had season tickets before?
Can't decide if it's worth it or not, my boy is seven and has recently started to really get into footy however I'm not sure about chucking £600 at it....then again I'd probably be gutted if they end up in the premiership.

Ive been watching Reading with my Son for 5 or 6 yrs now. Last year we brought season tickets before we knew they were going up so for £395 and £95 we got to watch Premiership football which was a bargain.
Even though we are going down we will renew, he loves going and TBH the football in the Championship is better at times.
If you can commit to it I would buy them.

I'd say it is worth it. Been an ST holder at UP since '97 with my Uncle as my dad's a referee and couldn't commit (as much as he would have liked to).
It really will give your son a totally different aspect of "modern day" football, away from what is written in the papers and regurgitated ad nauseum on tv.
From my perspective, the most memorable games I went to were the ones my Uncle couldn't make it and my dad went with me instead...

Up until about 15, football is usually on a Sunday. If you become ITS or just play in the youth team it's a Wednesday evening. He'd only be in the first/reserves adult team on a Saturday if he was a properly exceptional talent. And, in that case, you'd offset the season ticket usage loss against £150k a week potential earnings
Been a season ticket holder at Reading with Kinky Junior (now 12) for about 4 years now - and a club member before then, going to the odd-game.
Worth every penny.
And it does not clash with kids Saturday league football
Will be renewing again for next season
Although that will be Championship footy!

Not in the Berkshire leagues - matches from u7 to u16 all on a Saturday, ko times anywhere between 0900 and 1200, the latter would make getting to a game a bit difficult. Rugby gets played on a Sunday a.m. round here, and some kids play both sports of a weekend. Personally, I think splashing out on a season ticket after attending one game on a sunny day where your team wins 6-1 is a bit premature. Try a few 0-0 draws or 3-0 defeats when it's pissing down in Feb before you (and son) make your mind up. There will be tickets available - it's not a top 6 PL club.
